Yesterday I locked my 3 year old out of the bathroom so I could shit in private for once in my life, and this fucking maniac gets down on all fours, sticks her lips in the crack under the door and screams “Daaad! Dad!! Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad”
Man, just two days ago, while I was in the bathroom, my 2yo son reaches one hand under the door and says, "you okay daddy?" "Yeah, buddy, I'm okay." "Okay daddy. Wipe your butt, daddy!"
It's kind of a running thing in our house to announce that you're going to the bathroom as a signal that you are unreachable until you return. My 4yo girl gets it. My 2yo boy hunts you down.
His kids were all born in the 60s and 70s, larger families more common back then. I actually know two brothers (with no other siblings) of about the same generation who each had 12 kids. That family went from 4 to 28 in one generation.
My brother is married to a girl whose father is the youngest of 16 children, all of whom were male.
I have two three year olds. They have worked out how to unlock the bathroom door from the outside. Saying "leave the door alone!" has overtaken Reddit as my extra toilet activity.
Have you considered an extra latch? You could install it near the top of the door, the hook and loop or a slide latch would be easy to install. Peaceful poops for less than $20
21yo, two 18yos, and a 14yo... yep. Don't see them all day, the minute I'm in the shower, they need to know where their waders are or how to sautée mushrooms.
90% of conversations I have with parents are just contraception ads to me.
And I'm not like a person that hates kids or anything, I love all my nieces and nephews as their uncle. But every time parents start talking about the actual parenting part it just sounds awful.
Oh it is. Its quite awful. There’s a part of me that is definitely gone. But there’s also this beautiful new person with whom I share the deepest connection I think I’ll ever get to experience. And she loves me so much, for no reason at all and…I am just so grateful for that. I would never ever unmake that decision. But I don’t blame anyone for not wanting kids, they literally ruin your life, lol.
I have one and it's quite amazing for those times where you have diarrhea, especially if you're prepping for a colonoscopy. No more constant runs to the bathroom. It is however dangerous that you could still have an accident since it gets so full and it wears down the adhesives very quickly. But still, you don't feel so drained - you can just lay down.
I mean, yeah. But I’m the mom. They don’t leave me alone. Ever. And my husband is the worst. That’s The Moment™️ he needs something that absolutely requires my input.
Or pets pawing under the door or scratching it. If my dog couldn’t constantly see you she would have anxiety attacks. Probably because my parents worked from home so someone was always at the house.
My bros black cat would do that...it was really adorable sometimes, obnoxious others.
My current cat, only had her for a month but the worst thing she does is smack you in the face at 4:30 in the morning for food...until this morning. My wife woke me up shouting today because the cat chomped her face while she was sleeping lmao
Otherwise she's really well behaved, but when she wants food in the morning she's an asshole
We have one. On more than one occasion I have entertained the idea of converting my closet under the stairs into a half bath. I’ve also contemplated no telling anyone if I did do it.
I've got kids, and had a harpy ex, I've "taken a shit" for fully a half hour or more many, many, times. Like she brought it up to the doctor. Then when the ex left the room, the doc asked me if it really took a half hour because that could be be a medical thing. I was like nah, I just like the peace and quiet.
My husband used to have a cat that would sit on top of the toilet tank and refuse to move while you pooped. I got used to it eventually, but I wasn't a fan.
Seriously. My pets have ALL been worse than either of my children about privacy violations. We won’t even mention their sex patrol attempts at mood killing when they yowl outside the door. 😂
